Solar CITIES is a "Verein" -- a
"Society" or "Club" -- whose members and affiliates seek to close the
gap between "haves" and "have nots" by upping the ante and creating a
better world for all based on making the best use of solar energy.
As a Verein we are an international non-profit
non-governmental organization and depend on you to keep
us going. We happily accept donations, but we also have another
way that you can help us help the world without coming out of pocket!
One of the best ways you can
support Solar CITIES is by simply doing your shopping here,
through our website links to Amazon.com. Solar CITIES is an
Amazon.com affiliate, meaning that when you purchase your books,
movies, tools and other products by clicking through our pages instead
of going direct to Amazon through your browser, we get a tiny tiny
commission on each item you buy. It doesn't cost you any more, but it
does a whole lot to help us continue our programs helping the
urban and rural poor in Egypt and Guatemala and elsewhere.
Right now we are trying to build
50 solar roofs in the slums of Cairo (Darb El Ahmar and
Manshiyat Nasser). We need funds to purchase materials and to
train the residents of the communities and pay the craftspeople
(welders, glass and sheet metal vendors, plumbers etc.).
Please tell your friends that they
can help make a real difference simply by buying their goods and
entertainment through Amazon.com through
us. Refer them to this page (which will be updated and
expanded constantly!) and encourage everyone you know to come
here to shop.
To get to our Amazon.com ASTORE,
where you can find a great selection of presorted and themed books,
movies and games, click here:

In this way you can turn your consumer power into productive power to
help bring sustainable development to the poor areas of the world.
Thanks!
The Solar CITIES team
